Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
CIRCUIT BREAKER (3) brings the best recent figure here after a 2nd at Churchill Downs over 1308m, beaten 2.5L, and stretches out. TREGETOUR (4) also appeals off a 2nd at Churchill Downs over 1609m, beaten 3.3L after racing handy. NYQUISTADOR (5) has solid Maidens form including a 2nd at Turfway over 1609m and a close 6th at Keeneland over 1811m last start, 3.3L away. SURFIN' M (8) and PRIVATE SHOW (10) were 2nd and 3rd respectively in the same Oaklawn 1609m Maiden Claiming, separated by 0.2L behind the winner, and fit well at this level.
